Abstract:

MEASURE Evaluation PIMA seeks to strengthen the capacity of Kenya’s Ministry of Health to identify and use quality data for everyday decision making. PIMA is a Swahili word that translates as "measure."

This fact sheet summarizes how MEASURE Evaluation PIMA aims to strengthen the management of health programs and the sustainable delivery of quality services to improve the well-being of targeted communities and populations. Through collaboration and innovation, the program aims to achieve three results: improved monitoring and evaluation capacity of health ministry programs, to identify and respond to information needs at national and sub-national levels; improved availability and use of quality health information at national and sub-national levels; and improved monitoring and evaluation capacity for local training and research institutions.
